Each year since 2006, the publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has released an edition of the Best American Comics series, a best-of collection similar to the Best American Short Stories and Best American Non-required Reading. Each volume has been edited (i.e. selected) by a comic book luminary. Past editors include Harvey Pekar, Neil Gaiman, Chris Ware, […]
Remember when Jonah Hex went to the future? Well, I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t. It’s one of those forgotten series that has never had a proper collection. In any case, however, it’s definitely a point in Jonah Hex’s storied history that doesn’t really get the due deference it deserves. Sure, it sounds silly […]

There is so much that can be said in defense of the New Gods. This is the time to finally go out and say it, because, let’s face it, they are under attack. Threatened by such under-skilled writers like Venditti, Wilson, Bennet, and Johnson. These have done some real harm to the New Gods brand […]
Marvel’s new Star Wars title dropped a couple weeks ago (thanks Disney!). Obviously, it’s a little hard to tell how a good a whole series is going to be off a single issue.
